Nice Triangle Form

[soulmaka]

i have a sliding trigger. i have created a special effect on the Position of triggering unit and that special effect is a Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl It can create a nice triangle form.. but how?? is it a Math Trigger?

 

[13lade619]

what do you mean by 'triangle form'?

 

[SwedishChef]

i guess he means /\ you can use create lightning effect between point and use point with offset to set the points

you create triangle form by special effects..

For creating a triangle, you will need 3 points i believe.

I would use the units position as reference then set the 2nd point somewhere at the unit's x+[some value]
and then setting the 4rd point to unit's y+[some value]

so Unitposition is
A(x1,y1)
then point 2 would be
B(x2+x1,y1)
and point 3 would be
C(x1,y3+y1)

There might be an easier way though.

LOL .. 4rd?? hahaha.. btw what is this value?? Math??

I acidentally hit 4 instead of 3. That's meant to be 3rd.. Obviously you dont have points 1, 2 and then 4. Just skipping 3.

This??

Set LF_CP = ((Center of (Playable map area)) offset by (1.00, 1.00))

 

[Danis[h]]

Actions
Set Point[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
Set Point[2] = (Point[1] offset by (100.00, 0.00))
Set Point[3] = (Point[1] offset by (0.00, 100.00))

Would make out a small triangle.

only 2 points?? how aboutthe third one?? i can't be the Position of triggering unit.. because it's his position.. he will still move on it's current position.. means.. nothing happens

use angles, not coordinates...

take some center point, like position of unit

like this:

• actions
  • set StartPoint = position of <unit>
  • set Angle = -30.00
  • for each (Integer A) from 1 to 3 do actions
    • loop
      • set Point1 = StartPoint offset by 500 towards angle degrees
      • set Point2 = StartPoint offset by 500 towards angle + 120.00 degrees
      • lighting effect - create a lighting effect starting from Point1 to Point2
      • call RemoveLocation(udg_Point1)
      • call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)
      • set angle = angle + 120.00

this will form a nice triangle around the unit

don't forget to destroy the effects

Hmmm.. I'll Try this one.. can you make it In Jass?? I'm Learning Jass Now.. ^^

 

[Tyrulan]

Making it in Jass wouldn't be that hard but if you wanted to lets say make it MUI while removing all leaks well then you've asked someone to do a fair amount of work. Get as far as you can on your own making this spell (or triangle) and ask for help when you need it and I'd be glad to!

Sure!! btw.. it worked!! thanks Dinowc!! +rep

I was bored

it's MUI ofc
